Let's break down the sentence with the correct articles:
The teacher was reading a book to her class. She noticed a student in the back who seemed distracted. "Do you need Ø help?" she asked. "No, thank you," replied the student, "I was just thinking about the story you are reading."
Explanation:
The teacher – "The" is used because we're referring to a specific teacher already known to the listener or introduced in the context.
a book – "A" is used because this is the first mention of the book, and it's not a specific one known to the listener.
a student – Again, first mention, so we use "a".
Ø help – "Help" is an uncountable noun, and we generally don't use an article with it in this context.
the student – Now the student has been mentioned, so we switch from "a student" to "the student".
the story – Refers to the specific story being read from the book mentioned earlier.
